Need help finding unused debug menu in super ghouls and ghosts gba

[cavencruiser]

Hello all, I have discovered that there was unused dialogue in the gba port of super gng. Is anyone willing to find if the menu is still present by reverse engineering? I would like to see how this menu works.

Thanks for the misleading clickbait title. Finding text resources doesn't mean there's any code that uses them.

So, how would you find the menu if it is still in the game?

Reverse engineer the ROM ?

You initial approach is good, but maybe go a bit further, before you claim "debug menu already found".

Maybe have a look at all graphics and textures 1st, to maybe reveal unused ones.
Explore all the sound files and maybe reveal unused ones.

But I bet you arent the 1st one looking at this ROM with a hex editor. ;-)

Here, have some fancy text, regarding debug menus, inside of various versions of "Ghouls'n Ghosts")
